Medics who assessed the patients on scene found that five men and two women sustained moderate to serious injuries.
They also found the body of a sixth man, whom they believe was one of the passengers. He had sustained fatal injuries and was declared dead on scene.
“Due to the nature of two of the patients’ injuries the Netcare 1 Specialised Helicopter Air Ambulance was activated to airlift an adult male and adult female to a specialist facility,” explained Herbst.
Once everyone on scene was treated and stabilised, the rest of the patients were transported to hospital by ambulance, where they were to receive further treatment.
